Gov’t hoping to roll out new hurricane relief system within a month

Prime Minister, Dr. Andrew Holness says the government is hoping to roll out within a month a coupon or card system for Jamaicans who need hurricane relief supplies.

Dr. Holness said that the system will replace  the current mass package distribution.

Speaking during a tour of Accompong in St. Elizabeth yesterday, Dr. Holness said the plan is to have the new system operational in most communities within 3 to 4 weeks.

He said efforts will also be made to get shops in Accompong, back up and running.
